After experiencing the unique city of Lafayette and its wonderful Cajun and Creole attractions, all you can say is, “Cho!” (Cajun for “Wow!”). Lafayette has one of the most unique geographies and cultures in the US and is certain to provide a delta experience you won’t soon forget. Witness Lafayette in its rawest form at the breathtaking Atchafalaya swamp, where you are likely to spot beavers, otter, mink, deer, cranes and, during certain seasons, even an alligator or two.
If you’re searching for an activity that won’t give you ‘freesons’ (Cajun for “goosebumps”), spend an afternoon at the Acadian Village, an authentic restoration of a historic Cajun town that reflects the living experiences of Lafayette’s 19th century French settlers. For an authentic 21st century living experience, look no further than the Pear Tree Inn of Lafayette. At Pear Tree, you’ll enjoy a lot of lagniappes (“extras”) that don’t cost extra. Pear Tree Inn provides its guests with free wireless Internet, free popcorn and soda and our famous free HOT! breakfast. At Drury, “hot” means Belgian waffles, biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs and sausage—not bread and a toaster.
That being said, be sure to leave room for some of Lafayette’s fine Cajun cuisine. The Blue Dog Café or Prejean’s serve delicious native dishes including crawfish etouffee, fried catfish, spicy shrimp and other Cajun and Creole favorites. For further exposure to Cajun culture, watch a Cajun music concert or visit the Alexandre Mouton House Museum. So if you have an ‘ahnvee’ (“hankering”) for some excellent Cajun and Creole fun, book a room at the Pear Tree Inn of Lafayette today!
